Our Wedding

Our story began in the 2016 spring semester at the University of Tulsa. I still remember the first time I saw Blake walk into our Physiology lecture hall and sit down in the front row so studiously. I clearly remember thinking “Who is that and how can I get to know him better?” So, when I walked into the Physiology lab later that week, I was ecstatic to find this handsome stranger sitting alone at a lab table. I was nervous to introduce myself but leaned into a moment of bravery and sat down at his table. I had no idea how easily we would connect and become good friends. I had never experienced such ease with interactions and joyful moments. It didn’t matter if we were writing out a lab report, studying for exams, or just talking about our shared interests, we were happy and laughing non-stop. Our friendship was comfortable, easy, and always just a little more connected than we let on. We liked each other, but life had its own timing, and for a while, friendship was where it stayed.&nbsp; Life took us in different directions for years. Both of us moved on to higher education after we graduated from TU. I had moved across the country to live in Maine for three years. We had drifted apart due to distance and busy lives, and we both spent time with other people. In my mind and heart, I always thought of Blake as the one that got away.&nbsp; But I couldn’t deny the spark and longing I felt every time we connected again. We sometimes went months without contact, then a simple text connected us again like no time had passed. Then, in March of 2024, we truly found our way to each other. What started as a casual reconnection quickly felt like more. There was something familiar, but also new—like we were picking up right where we left off, but with a deeper sense of who we were and what we wanted. We quickly realized that the years we’d spent dancing around each other had come to an end, and that it was finally time to let ourselves fit together.&nbsp; Since we started dating, we’ve shared countless moments that have shaped our relationship. I have loved finally getting to build a relationship grounded in friendship, trust, and a deep sense of knowing each other. We’ve grown together, supported each other through life’s changes, and somehow, it all still feels just as natural as it did from the start. I am so excited to share more moments of joy, challenge, and growth with my puzzle piece.-Joining Blake’s family has been one of the greatest gifts of this journey. From the very beginning, his parents and siblings have welcomed me with open arms, kindness, and so much warmth. It’s clear how deeply they care for each other, and I feel truly lucky to become part of such a loving, supportive family. I’m excited not only to marry Blake but to build memories together with all of them — sharing holidays, celebrations, and everyday moments that will become part of our story. Their generosity and love make me feel at home, and I’m so grateful for the bond we’re creating as we move forward together. Now we’re getting ready to celebrate our wedding with the people who’ve been part of our story along the way—and we can’t wait to share this moment with you. This day marks the joining of our hearts and our families, and we’re so grateful for your love, support, and presence as we begin this next chapter together. With love,&nbsp;Danielle

Aggie isn’t just my Maid of Honor—she’s my rock, my soul sista, and one of the most important people in my life. She’s been there through every high and low, every late-night call, every laugh-until-you-cry moment. Her support means the world to me, and I truly couldn’t imagine this day—or my life—without her. I’m so honored (and lucky!) to have her by my side as I say “I do.”

From the moment I met Mia, I knew she was someone special—and not just because she’s my future sister-in-law! She’s kind, thoughtful, and inspires me as a sister, future mother, and woman. I’m so lucky to be gaining a sister and even luckier to have her by my side on one of the most meaningful days of my life.

Anna was my first EVER roommate and an absolute rock through the ups and downs of college. Anna's humor, persistence, and touch of drama got me through so many challenging moments as a college athlete. I'm thankful to have her by my side for my biggest "Game Day" yet!

Anna OToole

Annabeth and I met as teammates in college, but our friendship has grown even deeper since fully entering adulthood. She’s the kind of person who inspires everyone around her—with her creativity, her eye for beauty, and the joyful energy she brings into every space. Whether we’re dreaming big or just catching up on life, she motivates me to see the world a little brighter and live a little fuller. I’m so grateful to have her as a friend, a source of light, and now, a bridesmaid by my side.

Annabeth Fouts

Rachel is one of my oldest friends and has been in my life since our early days on the soccer field. More recently, we won a kickball championship together(still got it!). From muddy cleats and team huddles to big life milestones, I'm so thankful that we have remained friends. She’s the kind of teammate who’s always had my back—on and off the field—and I’m so grateful to have her standing with me on such a special day.



Rachel Witter

Tristan is my brother from another mother. College roommate, teammate, and friend, he is a constant and consistent source of joy, insight, and perspective. I'm beyond grateful to have him standing beside me on this momentous day.

Tristan Lacey

Danielle’s brother and one of the cleverest people you’ll ever meet. Cameron may be soft-spoken, but his quick wit and perfectly timed humor always makes us laugh. Steady, thoughtful, and endlessly supportive, he’s been a constant source of love and laughter through every season of Danielle's life. We’re so thankful to have him standing by our sides on this special day.

Cameron Hoover

Shelby is my brother-in-law and the prime example of what a husband, father, and friend ought to be. He is the definition of resilience, discipline, and commitment, and I am honored to stand beside him on this important day.

Jake is one of the most genuine and authentic people I have ever met. We've been close friends since elementary school, and words cannot express how much I appreciate his impact on my life. It's an honor to call him a friend and a blessing to enjoy this day with him next to me.

Ryan is one of my first and closest friends. From playing as Jedi on the playground and pulling all-nighters for physics projects to late night conversations discussing life and purpose, Ryan has been a pillar of love, wisdom, and reliability. I'm excited to have his company on this important day.

Beau is my first friend I made in college, and it was impossible to imagine how valuable this friendship would become to me. Beau is a well of knowledge and humor, and I will forever be grateful for the memories we've shared. I'm glad to have another of my closest friends celebrating this day with  me.
